Found the tourist areas preferable to the more rural parts (just my preference, but in general the facilities like toilets etc outside these areas were disgusting compared to Bali). Kuta, Sengiggi and the Gili islands are a must. Gili Trawangan is my favourite, wide range of accom options from basic to luxury. (alcohol is no problem - actually the only place I've been served an ice cold Bintan while wallowing in the sea, no need to even walk to the pub)

Check out Mic's Bali Forums (http://micbali.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=gili) I found these invaluable.

Only negatives are more aggressive hawkers especially at Bangsal harbour (departure point to the Gilis from Lombok)

Either way, if you enjoy Bali, you'll love Lombok and the Gilis.
